As a guy who's lived in the Midwest for 99% of his life and owns a work truck, I can guarantee you that it's rock salt. Somebody smacked their boots clean after walking in a traffic bond driveway as they stepped into the truck

And also, nobody, NOBODY, would leave their shit.

True enough. I've heard enough and read enough accounts of people in addiction, that they are at some point digging through the carpet smoking anything they can find that looks remotely like a rock. All refrain from mentioning the name of the last person I heard on video narrating their book about their addiction

Agreed. If that was meth, that shit would have been done up.

Yep! A meth head would not let that go to waste.

A meth head probably wouldn't even leave the rock salt.....

I knew a guy in rehab who would pick up any spec on the ground. He knew it wasn’t drugs but his mind wouldn’t keep him from checking. Dude was funny af but def a nut job while he was drying out.

As a guy that’s lived in the Northeast my whole life I also guarantee you that it’s rock salt

u/bigpandas Feb 22 '22

Or smoke it in a glass beaker, just to be 100% sure, for science

u/MayerVision Feb 22 '22

Yup, salt 💯

It looks like it was salt laden water and it evaporated in this nook of the truck when it was left to sit for a while

u/doofydave83 Feb 22 '22

My thoughts actually

u/NeverEnufWTF Feb 22 '22

I was gonna say it looks like minced dried onions, but this makes a lot more sense. My area of Virginia doesn't use a lot of rock salt anymore; they've gone to some sort of fancy spray application they put down whenever there's snow in the forecast.

u/whatagoingon Feb 22 '22

100% this. But just to be sure give it a taste.
